Verse 1:
A                       D
  I met you on a stormy weekend
A                             D
  You never meant to draw the line
A           Bm               D
  I saw you once you didn't smile
                        E
Thought you needed my advice
           F#m            D
But didn't know it at the time


Verse 2:
A                             D
  I called you in the dead of winter
A                          D
  You didn't even hold the line
A              Bm               D
  I've seen it all the great decline
                           E
One more troubled state of mine
          F#m                  D
What's so wrong? Why can't you even try?


Chorus 1:
A
   Hear me out now 
D
   a thousand miles around
F#m
   That the sound of strangers 
         E
breaking new ground
A
   It's the breakdown 
D
   of a lifetime
Bm                E
   Here we go now falling
of the straight line
A       Bm   D
Lost in city lights
A       Bm   D
Lost in city lights


Verse 3:
A
  I know all about 
            D
your little secrets
A
  I've felt the chills 
            D
and your regrets
A              Bm
  I heard them all
                 D
yeah through the wall
                      E
While you never had a clue
           F#m                 D
And if you knew what would you do?


Chorus 2:
A
   Hear me out now 
D
   a thousand miles around
F#m
   That the sound of strangers 
         E
breaking new ground
A
   It's the breakdown 
D
   of a lifetime
Bm                E
   Here we go now falling
of the straight line


Breakdown:
F#m D E
       I'm dreaming 
F#m A E
       I'm dreaming 
F#m D E            F#m A E(hold)
       I'm dreaming 


Bridge: with Synth Piano solo
A                     D
  Falling back in the days 
                   F#m
you were doing all right
                      E
If you're set in your ways 
                     A
then you fade out of sight
                      D
When at first it felt wrong 
               F#m
it soon became right
                      E
Now the cracks on the wall
                   D
were a map of your life
                 E
The addiction is back and 
                A
it's heavy this time
Now you're talking to the 
F#m    E           D
voices through the wall
                      E
Will you make it this time?


Chorus 3:
A
   Hear me out now 
D
   a thousand miles around
F#m
   That the sound of strangers 
         E
breaking new ground
A
   It's the breakdown 
D
   of a lifetime
Bm                E
   Here we go now falling
of the straight line
D                  E
  The addiction is back and 
                A
it's heavy this time
Now you're talking to the 
F#m    E           D
voices through the wall
                      E
Will you make it this time?


Outro:
A       D     F#m
I don't wanna know
That the sound of strangers 
         E
breaking new ground
A       D    Bm
Lost in city lights
Bm                E
   Here we go now falling
                    A(hold)
of the straight line
